This invention relates to dispensing units and has for the primaryobject the provision of a device especially adapted for attachment to astandard type of collapsible tubes to act as a discharge medium ornozzle therefor so that the d contents of the tube may be obtained orutilized without liability of waste.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists in certainnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts tobe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had tothe following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 isa fragmentary vertical sectional view illustrating a dispensing unitattached to a standard type of collapsible tube and which unit is in theform of a brush. v

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view illustrating the unit.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view showing an adapter.

Referring in detail to the drawing the numeral I indicates aconventional type of collapsible tube having a screw threaded dischargeneck 2 to which my invention is adaptable.

The body is indicated by the character I and is preferably constructedof rubber recessed, as shown at I I, to receive the bristles 5 andextending from the inner wall of the recess is the discharge tube I2.The body I0 is provided with a recess I3 of two diameters of differentsizes. The recesses I3 and I I are separated by a wall I4 pro- 0 videdwith a port I5 flared in the direction of the recess I3. An adapter I6consists of an internally screw threaded neck I1 for attachment to theneck of the tube I and a disc-like body I8 adapted to fit within thelargest diameter of the recess I3 while the smaller diameter of saidrecess accommodates the neck I'I. A passage I9 extends through thedisc-like portion I8 and the vlatter upon one face is provided with atapered lug 20 having the passage I9 extending therethrough. The lug 20fits in the flared opening I5 so that the contents of the tube I may bereadily directed into and through the tube I2. With the body I0 removedfrom the adapter I6, the latter then may be employed as a dischargemedium or `nozzle to aid in directing the contents of the tube I onto atoothbrush or similar device.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it will be understood that minor vchanges in construction,combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing fromthe spirit and scope of my invention, as claimed.

, Having described the invention, I claim:`

A dispensing unit comprising a body, a Wall integral with the body anddividing the latter into recesses and provided with a conical-shapedopening, a fiexible tube integral with the wall about said opening andextending outwardly of the body by way of one of said recesses, bristlesmounted to the body about said tube, said other recess having arestricted portion, a `iitting mounted in said last-named recess andextending outwardly of the latter by way of the restricted portion andadapted for connection to a neck of the conical-shaped opening.
